Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press caught up with Xavier Booker on Tuesday and reported some positive news on the former five-star recruit.
Booker — who is entering his sophomore season at Michigan State in the fall — has reportedly added weight this offseason and is now up to 242 pounds. Additionally, Solari noted he is learning to use”his new weight” and is showing noticeable improvements in ball-handling on the floor.
One final fun piece of information Solari reported on Booker was that he has spent time working out with NBA legend LeBron James and his son Bronny this offseason.
Booker was a highly-rated prospect in the 2023 class but played a smaller role as a true freshman this past season. He appeared in 27 games this past season, averaging 3.7 points and 1.7 rebounds across 9.2 minutes per game.
Check out the complete post on Booker from Solari below:
Just caught up with Xavier Booker at @iammoneyball. MSU sophomore up to 242 pounds, looks like he maybe even grew an inch. Got to work out with LeBron and Bronny James during the predraft process as well. Ball-handling development evident, and he’s learning to use his new weight.
